Water: Macrozamia is drought-tolerant, adapting to low water availability by efficiently storing moisture. In cultivation, it needs watering every two weeks. As an evergreen, it requires consistent soil moisture for year-round foliage growth, especially outdoors where environmental conditions fluctuate.

Propagation: Propagation of macrozamia primarily involves seeds, requiring warm temperatures, indirect light, and well-draining soil. Key steps include soaking seeds for 24 hours, sowing in sandy soil, and maintaining moisture at 25-30°C. Germination can take months and requires patience due to its challenges.
